The lush forest, clear water, cute boat, and the mysterious boat house… They are all Leo and Alexis’ wonderful childhood memories. During the summer when they were 11 years old, Alexis escaped from Leo because of a foolish reason. Until the summer when they are 18 years old, they meet again at the same place… Everything looks the same but everything has changed. Can Leo, who is filled with pain, and Alexis lick each other’s wounds and heal each other or will they both fall to the bottom of the lake? This is a touching story about two young boys written in a gentle style.
